I'll use this posts to show a few things that can help in your game.
WD Rapiers - The Wing Diver rapiers are exceptional weapons, which have been improved from 4.1. They were somewhat nerfed, but they are much more effective. This is a close call weapon, and as such it requires some finesse and talent to use. It's the top weapon to shred large spawning mobs and big bosses as it stuns its prey. With its massive DPS, low recharge time and reasonable energy consumption they're awesome. Unlike Phalanx which is a focused rapier and one charge use, they have a large spread that will stun multiple enemies at the same time. Or still do massive damage to a big one with tons of exposed flesh 😋.
Queen ants - The best way to kill them is by flying over its back or sides. Once it's hit it will be partially stunned and easy to finish. Take advantage of the acid throwing animation, it follows a pattern and take advantage of the timing when she's going to send a new spit. However be careful attacking 2 near ant queens at once.
King spider - Like the queen bee the king spider does massive damage with its attack. However the king spider does have one plus over the queen ant. It won't shoot webs while it's moving, so if you catch it jumping or moving it's easy to stun and kill with a rapier. Preferable spots will be front or under, but sides will work too. Once you start it's easier than the queen ant.
Queen bee - This one is a PITA with a rapier but can be done. The major issue is that if you try to fly to her, unless she's attacking something else, she'll always fly away. In city maps, it's possible to make her land on buildings and then it's a lot easier to attack quickly, she'll die in a snap. You can hide behind buildings, where the stings won't hit you. Don't fly. Major issue is if you have WDs in your NPCs they keep on flying and it's more difficult for the giant bee to settle.
Imperial drones - They usually fly really low near you and it's easy to attack them and they get down really quickly.
Blue tadpoles - These have a ton of health, only chance is when they land. They do massive damage to your NPCs, so getting rid of them is a good idea
Deroys - You can Rapier to death Deroys, isn't a major issue, but ONLY once you got rid of the leg weapons (clearly the way Sandlot devised them to be handled). The Mirage works great for that. A Deroy without leg attacks is a third rate enemy
Red drones - Don't even try, you'll send them away. A nightmare to kill them with a rapier
Spiders (silver or normal) - the best way to rapier spiders or groups of them isto keep bunny jumping in circles around them. Yes it's effective and considering the huge health silvers have it's one the best weapons against them. Still be thoughtful how you do this, it's probably not going to work if you have a ton of siders coming from all over the map at the same time. At least group them first.
Red or purple ants - They're extremely aggressive on EDF 5, but they're the easiest bunch to handle with a rapier
Gold ants - Usually not a good idea. Golds are the fastest attacker in the game and their attacks can deliver absolutely devastating damage. They're much worse than silver spiders.
Colonists / Cosmonauts - They're better to finish them off instead of full kill, but you can start between their legs and aim up, it will fry them. Not fast enough thought and some of their near friends can make your life miserable.
Giant bees
Best way to handle giant bees is to have buildings or terrain between you and them, as they eventually hover in the same place, or even land on the other side. After they send the stings peek and hit them. NPC WDs can sometimes be a pain for this as they keep flying and it's difficult to have the giant bee settle in a specific spot. Still easier to handle than giant ants or spiders. 😁
